Never Bow To Another - A Quotation by M.N. Hopkins

Kingdom Of God - A Quotation by Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov

Kingdom of God - those who work for it became a powerful focal point When the luminous entities of the invisible world see that a person is able to detach himself from their personal interests in order to truly work for the light, for the Kingdom of God, they tend to them, they protect them and impart their qualities and virtues to them. This person then grows and develops, and even if no one around them notices or is able to appreciate them, by means of their spiritual activity they take part in the affairs of the world. Wherever they may be, whether they be known or unknown, they become a center, a potent focal point, and nothing important takes place without them. They harmonize the forces of the universe, directing them towards a luminous goal, and they even participate in the decisions made by the spirits on high. Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov was a Bulgarian philosopher, pedagogue, mystic, and esotericist. A leading 20th-century teacher of Western Esotericism in Europe, he was a disciple of Peter Deunov, the founder of the Universal White Brotherhood.
